Emergency Planning and Management for School Administrators
With recent events of violence on our campuses, fires, landfall of hurricanes, as well as the volume of many threatening hazards, school, college, and university officials face the daunting challenges to protect student and employee alike. How prepared, how trained, and how many are aware of the methodology to prepare and react appropriately in facing these challenges? The Emergency Management Graduate Program of Adelphi University recognizes such needs and now offers the first of many Core Competency Training seminars.
